Last night we announced winners of the CyberArk 2017 Americas Partner Excellence Awards. Partners were recognized in a ceremony at the 11th annual CyberArk Impact Americas Summit 2017, the world’s largest event for privileged account security advocates.

Forward-looking organizations that want to proactively protect against damaging cyber attacks continue to turn to CyberArk and its partners to implement the most reliable, comprehensive cyber security solutions available on the market today. The CyberArk Americas Partner Excellence Awards celebrate established and emerging partners that are setting the bar for cyber security innovation and customer success.

CyberArk Impact 2017 features record-breaking attendance with more than 1,000 customers and partners that are driving privileged account security as a business imperative. The event offers an unparalleled opportunity for education, networking and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange among forward-thinking security practitioners.

This is an exciting win for us as it further validates our impact on the global security market—protecting the heart of the enterprise for customers the world over.

Privileged account credentials are the ‘keys to the IT kingdom’ and the focal point for every attacker to move throughout an organization’s technology infrastructure. This award underscores the increasing realization of how critical it is to secure privileged accounts and acknowledges the value CyberArk is providing IT departments day-in and day-out.

We’d like to congratulate CyberArk founder and CEO Udi Mokady for recently being named as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Technology Security category in New England.

In his speech at the event, Udi was his normal humble self, thanking the team here at CyberArk for helping drive the company to new heights by continually innovating new security solutions for today’s complex advanced attacks.

Udi has continually set the tone for CyberArk, keeping his vision for the company and the industry simple: “secure our clients’ business, so they can focus on growing their own business.”

This mantra has helped position CyberArk in the heart of the security market and has helped the company evolve to where it is today, focused on eliminating the most advanced cyber threats: those that use insider privileges to attack the heart of the enterprise.

Udi’s relentless focus on innovation, and adept understanding of security from both technical and human behavior vantage points, combined with a commitment to customers, has fueled CyberArk’s continued successes and continues to be the basis for the company’s passion and vision to secure the world’s businesses from the most challenging threats.

So thank you Udi – for your continued dedication, sacrifice and leadership. All of us at CyberArk are proud to be on this journey with you.

This is a big win for CyberArk, and one we’re very proud of. First – it’s a testament to the hard work of our overall team. Our team is dedicated to working with customers to continually develop innovative solutions to their security problems – this award is a demonstration of that.

Secondly – and most importantly for the industry – the award is recognition of the devastating impact that stolen and exploited privileged credentials can have on a company. It’s also recognition of the fact that privileged accounts are a significant priority in all advanced attacks. Hackers understand that privileged accounts are the keys to a company’s infrastructure. By exploiting these access points, hackers can turn a company’s infrastructure against itself.

Recognition of this threat is the first step in thwarting it. We’re very pleased with SC Magazine’s recognition of the privileged connection in advanced threats.
